Couple month old, 2kish miles. I was about to replace it. Maybe I should invest in chain measuring tool.

Put it on a stand and peddle forward slowly to see if it does, or if there's a point where it kind of snaps back into place

Weird. 2k miles doesn't seem like enough to really wear a chain. And even if it was worn it doesn't seem that like could explain it.

Gremlins?

My awesome luck? lol.

Took it to outfitters, The chain is fine, but FD might be miss adjusted. When it's already shifted everything looks ***** donky, but during a shift it looked like chain was almost ready to jump it. They will take a look at it. I don't remember if I was shifting or not during the sprint.

On a side note, I swear I thought I hit my head against the ground when I binned it, but looking at the helmet there are no marks.

Oh well I guess I can be social now and join a group ride or two (probably not spectrum lol).

The Low Key Hill Climbs start this Saturday with Montebello. Pre-register if you want a spot. If you have not done these, they are a great off season training series of hill climb events that are well organized and run. I did not call them races since they are not sanctioned or insured as a race per se.

Daniel, the guy that runs them, is an awesome dude. His events are super fun.
